After the big guy wears the abusive text

"How is that possible." Ci Ke blurted out, but his voice was a little softer, "Aunt was joking."

"Without her, I wouldn't be able to live to see my aunt." Ci Ke's eyelashes moved, "I just don't hate her anymore, I don't want to hurt her."

Zhou Ziqiu looked at her suspiciously for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped Ci Ke's hand, his almond eyes were full of emotions that Ci Ke could not understand.

"Ci Ke, from now on, even if my aunt is gone, I will entrust you to a good person who can protect you well."

"In this world, men and women who truly love each other are rarely able to die well. What's more, women and women, even if Ye Youqing is really reborn, she will be forced to marry like me in the future. A woman can't escape this courtyard no matter what. , how can I protect you?" Zhou Ziqiu said softly.

"Harming others and harming oneself." Zhou Ziqiu said again.

Zhou Ziqiu let go of Ci Ke's hand, stood up straight, and put the wrapped letter into his sleeve. When he turned around, the sadness on his face had already been concealed.

Ci Ke clenched her hands tightly. For a moment, she was about to tell Zhou Ziqiu the news about Shili, but she struggled to shut up because of Shili's request.

Finally, she said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Ci Ke understands."

When the two came out of the inner room, Ye Youqing was sitting cross-legged next to the short table, drinking the good Emei white bud tea from Qiushui Hall, raised his head after hearing the footsteps, and glanced at the eyes of the two, both of them were rosy.

She didn't let her eyes linger, but got up as if she didn't see it, and said warmly to Zhou Ziqiu, "Thank you for the tea, concubine."

"There are still some in the palace. If Miss Ye likes them, she can take some with her when she leaves. Chunhong."

"Don't bother." Ye Youqing smiled and shook his head, then looked at Ci Ke, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the imperial concubine and Ci Ke, don't we want to chat for a while?"

"It's getting late, not to mention Miss Ye disappeared for too long, people might gossip about it." Zhou Ziqiu smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull Ye Youqing, "Let's go, I will send Miss Ye out."

Just as Ye Youqing wanted to refuse, Zhou Ziqiu's beautiful figure had already stepped out of the hall, she had no choice but to follow.

Ci Ke didn't speak all the way, but followed Ye Youqing and Zhou Ziqiu silently. Ye Youqing could see that she was in a bad mood, but because Zhou Ziqiu was present, it was difficult to ask, so he didn't speak.

"I haven't seen the sun in this palace for a long time, and the peach blossoms are about to fade." Zhou Ziqiu said regretfully, "It's just that the harem is narrow, and it doesn't make much difference whether you go out or not."

The woman looked up at the flowers protruding from the courtyard wall, and stretched out her hand, but there was still a distance of three inches. She was stunned for a moment, and lowered her hand.

Ye Youqing suddenly felt sad for a moment, no one could pick flowers for her and wear them.

Zhou Ziqiu also stopped talking, just looked at the blue sky in the distance, and the clouds cut into pieces by the palace wall.When the three of them were about to walk out of the confines of the harem, they suddenly saw a thin figure kneeling under the scorching sun in front of them, his delicate face already covered with sweat.

The palace people passing by were in twos and threes, some bowed their heads and saluted, but most of them turned a blind eye.

Is it the boy from before?Ye Youqing looked at Zhou Ziqiu and couldn't help slowing down.

"This is..." she asked pretending not to care.

"Your Highness Six, the biological mother was imprisoned in the Leng Palace, and now she is raised by Yan Jieyu's side. She must have sneaked up the courtyard wall of the Leng Palace again, and was punished by Yan Jieyu."

When Zhou Ziqiu mentioned Yan Jieyu, there was a hint of disgust in his tone, and Ye Youqing suddenly felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but it was difficult to remember it for a while.

While talking, the three of them had already walked up to the young man. The young man was silent, his body was thin but he knelt straight, his dark eyes were staring at the opposite palace wall, and he looked resolute.

Zhou Ziqiu walked in front of the young man, suddenly opened his red lips slightly, and said lazily, "Who told you to kneel here, blocking the way to come and go."

The young man didn't speak, his dark eyes turned to Zhou Ziqiu, and then stopped for a moment on Ye Youqing.

"Still moving somewhere?" Zhou Ziqiu raised his eyebrows.

The boy stood up.

After the three of them walked over, Ye Youqing turned his head and found that the boy had moved into the shadows, his back was still as straight as a pine tree.

Ye Youqing exhaled, thinking that Zhou Ziqiu should be a kind-hearted woman before she experienced these things.

When she and Ci Ke returned to the imperial garden, the dragon boat race just ended, and the fragrance of zongzi wafted all over the garden. Ye Youqing ate half of it with little interest, and left early.

On the carriage back, Ci Ke kept his eyes downcast, looking a little sluggish, Ye Youqing supported his forehead with one hand, letting his head sway along with the carriage.

In fact, Ye Youqing was vaguely able to guess what Ci Ke and Zhou Ziqiu were plotting, especially after Ci Ke said to expose Qin Wang's lies, he could naturally think of the case of chaos seven years ago.

This was also one of the reasons why Ye Youqing was willing to help Ci Ke. Apart from being able to get rid of Qin Wang, Zhao Qingrou's father, King Sirong, was also implicated in the case of rebellion.

If the truth can really come to light, the souls of hundreds of people can rest in peace.

But Ci Ke didn't speak, and Ye Youqing didn't ask, the two had their own concerns, and they didn't make a sound all the way.

When the carriage stopped, when Ye Youqing landed with Qin Xin's support, he saw a candy seller parked beside him, so he bought a bag with copper coins, and handed it to Ci Ke.

Then he turned around and entered the gate of the mansion, leaving Ci Ke alone, looked at the paper bag for a while, stretched out his hand and squeezed one, and put it in his mouth.

The tip of Linglong's nose wrinkled into a ball.

It was night, Ye Youqing didn't delay, retreated everyone, sneaked into Liang Guogong's study room, lit a lamp to find the records of the year, the candlelight was dim, and the handwriting had to be read carefully.

Most of the records are chariot stories describing the evil deeds of the two collaborating with the enemy. It is necessary to discard the beginning and the end to understand the events of the year.

It turned out that Xixia invaded Qi State back then, because Xixia was powerful and mighty, and at the same time, the border was rugged and mountainous, so it was difficult to resist, and soon annexed three cities, all the way to the south.

The emperor had no choice but to send out the general of hussars. At the same time, he also invited the old King Sirong. It is said that when he was young, King Sirong was victorious in all battles and never lost. Wang Wei obeyed.

On the night when King Sirong and General Hushi led their troops to the border, the iron cavalry broke through the city gate and took back the first city. Xixia had no choice but to retreat frequently.

After that, victories came from time to time. King Sirong's iron cavalry charged all the way, causing the Xixia army to complain and lose their positions repeatedly.

At the same time, King Sirong strictly organized the recovered city, and used the seized materials to arrange food and grass relief reasonably, saving the people from fire and water, so the reputation of the two on the border increased, and everyone became two heroes who saved the world.

Later, although Xixia withdrew to their hometown, they still did not give up. They often tried at the border, and the war was entangled. It took three years to settle down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned to Beijing, the clothes had not been changed, and the crimes were all over their heads. The two were unprepared, and there was no escape. The team of cavalry has since disappeared.

Sure enough, Qin Wang's name appeared in it as a hero.

Closing the pages of the book, Ye Youqing was silent for a long while. His meritorious service was impressive, and the two had a close personal relationship. It seemed that this matter had something to do with the emperor, and her dislike for Qin Wang deepened.

In this way, she and Qin Wang are still feuds, and they don't know how the two of them in the original book erased this deep blood feud and became a married couple.

She suddenly felt sorry for the original owner who was kept in the dark.

Knowing this matter in his heart, Ye Youqing closed the pages of the book, blew out the candle, slipped out of the room, saw a figure head-on, and almost cried out in fright.

"Ci Ke?" Ye Youqing heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the figure of that person clearly, and stepped forward, covering his heart, "It's late at night, what are you doing here?"

Ci Ke had her hands behind her back, and she was wearing a moon-white coat. The clothes swayed like butterfly wings in the evening wind. Under the moonlight, her eyebrows and eyes were like elves, looking bright.

It's not an exaggeration to think that it's Jiutian Fairy descending to earth, or Jiutian's demon, if her family is not ruined, she should be the most beautiful lady in Bianjing.

"Waiting for you." Ci Ke said, his eyes rolled, "Things of the day..."

"I guessed something just now." Ye Youqing walked past her to the outside of the courtyard, briefly recounted his conjecture, but didn't hear Ci Ke's answer, so he turned around again, only to see Ci Ke slowed down, looking surprised look.

"Why, do you think I'm stupid and don't think about it?" Ye Youqing joked.

Ci Ke Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, and nodded with her lips curled up, smiling a bit slyly.

"One more thing, Qin Wang is looking for something, it seems to be called Fenghua Pendant. I don't remember that Daddy has such an object, so I suspect that this object belongs to King Sirong." Ci Ke became serious, whispered, his voice was erratic Nice to hear.

Fenghua pendant?Ye Youqing subconsciously touched his chest, that ordinary little fan pendant.

Qin Wang is looking for this pendant?The original owner also gave this thing away as a token of love?It can be said that thinking about it is extremely frightening, and Ye Youqing was afraid after a while.

King Sirong has a team of iron cavalry in his hands, so could it be...

"If you know this thing, you must not disclose it to others, or you will cause trouble." Ci Ke seemed to be a little worried, and warned again.

Ye Youqing nodded thoughtfully, and when she lowered her head, she saw Ci Ke's eyes shining with the moonlight, her mind skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away.

Perhaps it was caused by the moonlight, Ye Youqing murmured.

Then he changed the topic, with a bit of a joke: "I think the imperial concubine should not allow you to tell me, so you just revealed it, aren't you afraid that I am Qin Wang's?"

The woman moved her footsteps, and put a pair of fox eyes into Ye Youqing's sight again.

"Ye Youqing." When her voice called out the person's full name, it was like a thin hook.

"Now, I believe in you." She said angrily.

--------

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the days in Bianjing still flow comfortably and leisurely.

There was no news about Qin Wang, but one day after he came to court, he heard Liang Guogong chatting with his colleagues, saying that General Qin had been on leave every day for the past few days, and it was said that he had suffered a serious illness.

Ye Youqing was very gloating, guessing that Zhou Ziqiu was waiting for an opportunity, so he paid attention to it, and hurriedly dealt with his own affairs.

It was getting late, the sky was light, and it was cool because of the rain during the day. The air was light in ancient times, but now it was washed by the rain, and it was even clearer and sweeter.

On another long street away from Royal Street, the surrounding area is no longer so tidy, but it is more lively. There are many performers carrying burdens on the side of the road, or breathing fire, or directing monkeys to jump up and down. There are few dignitaries, most of them are merchants and ordinary people, and they come and go among the well-lit restaurants and teahouses.

In the middle of the long street, a cold-faced young man dressed in black, with his hair tied up high, tall and slender, but looked thinner, with a folding fan on his waist, walking briskly.

Behind the man was a man who looked like a book boy, his face was fairer, especially his pair of eyes, which were round and pointed up, extremely beautiful, almost like a woman.

A hawker on the side of the road waved at the two of them: "You two officials, freshly baked biscuits!" But the slightly taller man stretched out his hand to block them.

The two walked quickly all the way, and finally stopped under a plaque painted with Chinese characters, and raised their heads together.

"Miss, I'm so excited." The book boy stared at the word Cuihonglou for a while, and then spoke in a smooth voice.

"It's just looking for someone." Ye Youqing sighed, but looking at the familiar first two words, he was somewhat unable to move his legs.

Speaking of depression, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop avoided seeing him several times, she was really helpless, so she had to look for him in this romantic place after dusk.

That Pei Ning, who works as a treasurer during the day and plays a musician here at night, is said to be very popular with some dignitaries.

Emboldened with courage, Ye Youqing stepped into the door, took out his folding fan like a dude, shook it open with a snap, and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for Miss Pei."

The person who greeted the guest was a white-faced man, his face seemed to be covered with powder, he twisted his waist and said with a smile: "Young official, Miss Pei has already been invited, and now I am adjusting the pipa, I am afraid..."

Ye Youqing didn't talk nonsense, and slapped a silver coin on the table.

"Little official, go upstairs, and I will bring Miss Pei to you!" The man's eyes lit up, he turned around and ran away happily.

There are several houses on the upper floor. I don’t know what is used for soundproofing. After entering the door, it is quite clean, and the noise outside has disappeared. There is a square table in the center of the room.

The two maids served tea to Ye Youqing, then bent down and left, and soon only Ye Youqing and Ci Ke were left in the room.

Ye Youqing took a sip from the teacup, and then noticed Ci Ke's gaze on her, so he looked sideways at her, and said with a smile, "Don't think too much, I'm just looking for this Miss Peining."

"I'm just a servant girl. How dare a servant girl talk too much about what the eldest girl is doing." Ci Ke looked away, but couldn't help thinking about this name he had never heard before.

The door knocked from the outside, and Ye Youqing let in.

With the strong smell of rouge pouring in, a graceful figure walked in, dressed boldly and flamboyantly, with black hair tied into a bun, holding a pipa in his arms, his laughter greeted him one step ahead of others, like a bell being rang .

She bowed to Ye Youqing and said, "What song does this little official want to hear?"

"It's good if you are good at it." Ye Youqing said calmly.

"Look at the little officials, they are distinguished guests. I will definitely let the officials listen to it." Pei Ning giggled, dragged out a chair from the corner, sat down on a crooked body, and a pleasant little song flowed out .

Ye Youqing didn't interrupt, just thought he was here to listen to the song, and beat the time in agreement.

At the end of the song, the woman in front of her suddenly got up, put down the pipa, walked to Ye Youqing's side twisting her waist, and poured tea for her: "Why do you feel that the little official looks familiar to me?"

"How can I see that?" Ye Youqing raised his eyebrows.

"Not necessarily, maybe the officials are kind-hearted." Pei Ning pursed her red lips, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hook Ye Youqing's chin.

Ci Ke Ying on the side slightly closed her lips and looked away.

Ye Youqing put down the teacup, raised his head following her strength, and found that the woman's eyes were not smiling, so he knew something, but didn't say anything, and continued to look at her with a smile.

"The slave family doesn't understand why officials are so obsessed with the slave family..." Pei Ning looked Ye Youqing up and down, "Find here."

Afterwards, there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and she suddenly supported the back of the chair and sat on the corner of the chair that Ye Youqing was not full of, looking as if she was leaning on Ye Youqing's shoulder.

"The servant's family is nothing more than a prostitute, what should officials like?" she said.

Ye Youqing was about to speak seriously, but suddenly heard a whisper from the other side, and turned his head hastily, only to see Ci Ke covering his lips and taking a step back.

Seeing that she seemed to be in pain, Ye Youqing suddenly got up and staggered Pei Ning who was still leaning on her shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Ye Youqing asked, then pinched Ci Ke's wrist, moved it away, and found half a candy in her palm.

The woman's eyelashes were raised, and under the thick eyelashes were deep lake-like eyes. The light in her eyes swayed slightly with the water waves, as if she was crying from pain.

"Toothache." Her moist lips parted slightly, she said.
